Tutorial 15: You've been Framed, Part II

Conclusion

Throughout the last two tutorials, I have shown you how frames can
make your life easier on the surface, but also pointed out how many
serious problems they cause behind the scenes. Although several
methods can be used to circumvent some of the problems, most of the
important shortcomings can not be overcome. Later on, we'll see a CSS2
feature called fixed positioning that has the same features as frames
but none of the problems, and can be used as an alternative (although
it is currently only supported by Mozilla). In the mean time, my
advice is to avoid frames at all costs, and try to use some of the
methods described above if you are forced to deal with them for some
reason.
